INTERNAL CLEANSING
What Does Internal Cleansing Have To Do With Good Health?
Symptoms of Poor Health and Disease are: poor digestion, gas, one or
less bowel movements daily, skin problems, body odor, finger nails
pealing, diarrhea, poor circulation, stomach bloat, fatigue, lower
backache, bad breath, stiff joints, elimination problems, breathing
problems, behavior problems, depression, allergies, etc...
(Due to the numerous questions and concerns about the April Newsletter,
this issue is devoted to more specific details about tissue toxity and
products useful for Internal Cleansing.)
TISSUE TOXITY... Industrial chemicals and their pollutant run-offs in our
water, pesticides, additives in our foods, heavy metals, anesthetics,
residues from drugs, and environmental hormones are trapped within the
human body in greater concentrations than at any other point in
history. Because every tissue in the body is fed by the blood stream
which is supplied via the bowel. When the bowel is toxified, so is
the liver and the rest of the organs and tissues. Proper bowel
function entails having at least 2 or 3 good bowel movements per day.
If we eat 3 meals a day and only eliminate once a day, where are the
other 2 meals hiding? Some people carry around up to 10 to 15 extra
pounds of mucous that harbors this toxic waste! (Photographs are
available for those readers who may doubt this fact).
POOR DIET, dead, over cooked, devitalized, clogging low fiber foods,
fried foods, etc. unlike live foods (fresh fruits and vegetables), lack
the proper enzymes to assist in proper digestion and assimilation, and
lack the fiber or bulk to assist in proper elimination. Foods are not
properly broken down and tend to lodge in the lower intestines. Vital
nutrients are not absorbed. Without proper digestion, leaky gut
syndrome can develop, thus producing food allergies.
Leaky Gut Syndrome is a harmful condition in which the lining of the
intestinal tract becomes porous and irritated resulting in auto-immune
diseases. Auto-immune diseases are those in which our bodies produce
defenses which attack both the foreign, unhealthy particles in the body
and the body's own healthy tissues. Some examples are arthritis, lupus,
diabetes, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative
colitis, to name just a few.
A properly functioning intestinal system is vital to overall health and
well being. The intestinal wall secretes mucus which forms a "membrane"
or "lining" that coasts the surface of the intestinal tract. This
lining is essential to proper digestion, immune functions and overall
health. Every 3-5 days the intestinal system sheds and renews the
cells that line the intestinal tract. IntestiNEW is a natural formula
containing ingredients that support the integrity and healthy functions
of the intestinal lining, cost $34.95. A more recent product that is
specifically designed for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is now
available is Intestinal Bowel Soother, cost $21.95, 60 caps.
Poor Digestion: Most people treat themselves for indigestion by
consuming antacids which neutralize stomach acid, inviting the stomach
to produce even more acid, often making the condition worse. And, they
rely on laxatives to relieve constipation which often then leads to
diarrhea. When digestion is not optimum, problems can quickly evolve
beyond gas and bloating. Energy is reduced and the immune system is
radically compromised. Along with the cases of chronic indigestion, the
cases of chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, chronic muscle pain,
candidiasis, arthritis, colon cancer and poor immune response are
skyrocketing each year with people of all ages. Enhancing digestion
with enzymes and hydrochloric acid is usually beneficial. Digestive
enzymes like drhealth Superzymes $20.95 120 tabs, $11.25 60 tabs.
It has long been known that our intestinal tract is full of beneficial
bacteria, commonly called flora or probiotics (meaning for life). These
bacteria are generally classified into one of two broad groups: 1).
acidophilus 2). bifidus. Flora help the colon stay healthy. In this
way they are very valuable to the overall health of the digestive system
and to the body as a whole.
Medical scientists know that the gastrointestinal tract's balance of
"friendly" flora is most commonly attacked by: 1) Antibiotic usage 2)
Excessive sugar and yeast 3) Stress 4) Chlorinated water 5)
Processed foods. All of these 5 culprits drastically alter the type,
quantity, and behavior of the microorganisms found in the
gastrointestinal tract. Solution: A good grade of Lactobacillus
acidophilus daily and reducing or eliminating the 5 culprits. Supema
Dophilus $24.79 120 caps, PB-8 $15.00 60 caps, $24.95 120 caps and
Power Dophilus $19.95 100 caps.
WARNING: Toxic Metals May Be Making You Sick! We are now, more than
ever before, at risk of contamination from lead, mercury, cadmium, and
aluminum which is found in industrial waste, seafood, silver-colored
dental filings, paint, and numerous other sources. The truth is, many
of us are harboring unsafe levels of these health assassins right now
without even realizing it. Perhaps you're feeling a noticeable loss of
memory or mental energy... unexplained aches and pains... fatigue or just
tired. If so, the culprit could be metal contamination. Studies have
shown that metal exposure impairs brain function, making you feel like
you suffer from "brain fog." A hair analysis, which costs $75.00, is
the best way to discover contamination and available at the Health
Gallery.
Heavy Metal Cleanse is an easy-to-use, two-part cleanse program that
contains minerals, vitamins, herbs, and amino acids which have long been
used to promote circulatory and dental health. The cost $34.95.
Cleanse SMART is an excellent general detox for the body. It is a Two
Part Internal Cleansing System That Detoxifies and Cleanses The Body.
Cleanse SMART Part I contains 15 natural compounds that support
detoxification of body systems. Cleanse SMART Part II contains 8
natural compounds that support elimination of toxins through the colon.
The cost $30.00.
LACK OF WATER can lead to serious health problems. Water makes up 65 to
75% of the human body. Water cleanses the inside of the body as well as
the outside. It is instrumental in flushing out wastes and toxins. When
the body is not receiving enough water, toxins tend to stagnate,
hindering all digestive and eliminative processes. Drinking at least 8
glasses of water a day is highly recommended.
STRESS affects every cell and tissue in the human body by breaking down
the immune system and all of the major organs. It robs the body of
important vitamins and minerals, and over time, can cause severe acid
build-up. Stress hinders the proper digestion, absorption, and
elimination of foods by throwing the digestive system out of balance
resulting in poor health and premature aging.
ALERT: Calcium intake alone DOES NOT protect against osteoporosis and
fractures. You also need other minerals, especially magnesium. (ref.
Harvard Nurses' Health Study, 75,000 women for 12 years.)
Americans are the most over medicated people on earth. We comprise
about 5% of the population, yet we consume 60% of all drugs produced on
earth, both legal and illegal.
Thought For The Day: We are here for the purpose to learn and
experience. Life is a voyage not a destination!
